UFD partners have access to a portal with resources that include training, sales and marketing materials. Compensation includes residuals, referral bonuses and incentives.

"We know that agent relationships are crucial to our success and are dedicated to providing a robust offering and top-notch support to our partners," said Christopher Lodge, COO of UFD.
